Come see this 3 BR, 2 Full Bath in this charming Cape Cod with an ideal location: One Block from Otter Lake! Here in the Village of Otter Lake you will have only a short walk to swim or sun bath on the huge sandy beach. Or perhaps fishing and boating is your passion. You can have all this in this solid built home on 2 1/2 lots. Facing Forest Avenue is an ample sized enclosed porch that highlights the entrance. Three bedrooms up stairs have the convenience of a Laundry room on the same floor. The main floor has a dining room open to the modern Kitchen. There are new windows on the main floor. Otter Lake Village living is simple and unencumbered by big city traffic. Time has been good here and preserved many of the historic homes and landmarks for you to enjoy. This house was the first home built in Otter Lake and is of intrinsic historical value to the area. It has both History and Location but needs some old fashioned TLC. The perfect buyer would be one who would see the historical value this home brings to the village. Or perhaps an investor can see the value.
If you have cat allergies this home has a number of cats.
